Subject: [GIT PULL] scheduler fixes

Linus,

   # HEAD: 8e5bfa8c1f8471aa4a2d30be631ef2b50e10abaf sched/autogroup: Do not use autogroup->tg in zombie threads

Two fixes for autogroup scheduling, for races when turning the feature on/off via 
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
